How do I say DeeZul?
I say it DeeZul, it's one of those words that just feel right when you say it, and feels like someone scratching a blackboard when it is said wrong.
Now if they knew what it was, I wonder how it is said in the hood?
I will call Rudolph and ask him how he says his name.

"fuel" is my preferred term, it keeps my wife from feeling like I'm discriminating against her 4Runner...
Or I use the Texas drawl to make a cross between the "S"and "Z" sounds... I voted "S" though.
